Hi there,
I’ve successfully got home Assistant managing my cbus lights through mqtt, CgateWeb & Cgate. However, the lights only appear as entities, not devices which (I think!) limits my automation options.
Is there any way to create devices from the entities? Or even creating them manually? I tried adding a unique identifier, but it doesn’t work. I can’t use mqtt auto discovery as CgateWeb doesn’t support it.
Sample config element:
# First test light:
# Use this structure for dimmable lights
light:
- platform: mqtt
name: Hallway
command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/105/switch"
brightness_command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/105/ramp"
brightness_state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/105/level"
state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/105/state"
brightness_scale: 100
on_command_type: brightness
unique_id: HallwayLights
device: { identifiers : "CBUS56.105", name : "Hallway Light" }
